It's news and a scandal that I am banned from Wikipedia twenty years ago for trying to keep libel off the entry about me but it's tickety-boo for Brown to be banned from Reddit for invading people's privacy and using Reddit data to engage in law-breaking.
Funny little world...
I think so. I got it after the phishing email.
Is there a comment section on his podcast?
The idea that this man wants to destroy my reputation because he wrongly thinks I control/make all the criticism of him on Reddit is beyond disgusting. He has a huge amount of wealth and a staff, and they have gone so far as hunt down a yearbook picture that I didn't even have.
Every time I go to the Canadaland web page, I get this warning from my antivirus/privacy software.
Does anyone know what it means?
Seems like more than that. Brown made it clear to me Monday he was trying to dredge up every negative thing/claim about me in my life and publish it all. A careful reading of the thread appears to show he's threatening to publish material about the mod that real journalists have passed on.
2/2 At most, I would have told you to respect the presumption of innocence on the criminal charges and hold off personal attacks until he was convicted. I went down the same road with Brown yesterday, except saying papers that run names should commit to following cases to their coinclusion.
I think your memory is a little off. All my dealings with Bowie were in regards to a case he wanted me to take, and it was so badly botched that I became convinced he was incompetent. As well, Michael Spratt and Emilie Taman, who exposed his crimes, are friends of mine. 1/2
Renowned author and lawyer Mark Bourrie on Pierre Poilievre in his new book, “Ripper”: Pierre Poilievre is very good and finding and hyping problems: taxes, crime, housing, drugs, inflation, doctor shortages, pandemic management. In more that 150 years of democratic government, no leader of a major party has come close to having Poilievre’s skill as whipping up mass anger, in part be cause no one except John Diefenbaker ever tried, though he at least had boundaries. No one has spoken in slogans the way Poilievre has. No one has been so shameless in his lies about his real and perceived enemies in politics, the media, and elsewhere. But real solutions? We haven’t heard many of those. Maybe they’ll come later. Maybe. Is he a bad person? I’m reluctant to make that claim. I think he’s an angry teenager in the body of a grown man. That makes him a stellar opposition politician. It is a bad combination in a prime minister.
Excerpt from "Ripper":
"An angry teenager in the body of a grown man."
Every time I go to the main Canadaland page, I get a warning from my virus protection/security software.
You don't believe women when they say they were sexually assaulted, and you frame them as "nutters"? You should be a Wikipedia administrator (if you are not already).
You are mistaken.
I never defended Bowie.
Piece is bullshit, written by anonymous people without checking the facts with me.
Seems to me they want to annex up to the Litani River.
A draft, or even registration for a draft, will be the end of Trump.
It won't.
If the accused was named "Jesse Brown" or "Jon Stewart", am I to assume they are of Christian British descent. I'm concerned that some people might believe Islamophobia is some kind of solution to Antisemitism.
#JesseBrown Insists He’s Done Nothing Wrong
This all just seems petty and weird :/

It was policy when I wrote for the Globe and the Star that accused were not named unless the paper was commited to following the case through the courts. It wasn't a perfect policy. Charges often appeared on P. 1 and court results on p. 40, but there was some respect of people's rights.
Contrary to Jesse Brown's depictions, our charity in many ways could not be more local. We are a Kenyan-registered nongovernmental organization that works closely with local leadership and mobilizes community members to help us deliver our important health and educational programs. Because of the persistent attacks on WE Charity driven by Brown and Canadaland, we have been forced to cut back our work in the developing world: eighteen communities in Kenya that were supposed to receive clean water, schools, and development support will not get any of it because of the closing of WE Charity. Does that sound like positive change resulting from responsible journalism? No, it is simply privilege masquerading as journalism. Jesse Brown creates a podcast, hires a Black man to "narrate" — i.e. read the words written by a White person - and Jesse Brown has the audacity to title the podcast "White Privilege".
False accusations like that in Brown's podcast only add to the uncertainty and fear about vaccines in our communities. Brown has attacked WE Charity's work, which caused a loss of funds for our medical programs in Kenya. Children will die because of this. The accusation that our programs are "a lie" is grossly offensive to me and the hundreds of global medical practitioners who have participated in our extremely successful immunization programs. All the funds raised for these programs go directly to helping children as intended. By stating otherwise, Jesse Brown is creating vaccine misinformation, which is extremely dangerous and irresponsible for communities like mine where the need for immunization is among the greatest in the world.
Sorry about that. Here’s the alt.text
Mark Bourrie has written extensively about the takedown of WE. The absolute sleaze that included Jesse Brown and Pierre Poilievre, using WE to create a faux scandal. A Kenyan woman (sadly I don’t have her name) who worked for WE also wrote about the harm it caused so many by destroying WE Charity
Jesse Brown is saying people are "jump[ing] to wild conclusions surrounding his IP tracking saga - that he is referring to as "Reddit Drama" - so I laid out just the facts in a Substack post here -open.substack.com/pub/toomuchanalysis/p/ca...
Can someone tell me how to unlblock an account?
People need to understand the difference between critical minerals and rare earths. We can be competitive in critical minerals. (It's sloppy, but think of them as weird metals). We're unlikely to ever be big players in rare earths because Canadians would not put up the the environmental damage.
Library & bookstores, Writers Festivals…👍🇨🇦
Good to see @drmarkbourrie.bsky.social getting recognition.
During my too-brief stint in the Parliamentary Press Gallery (a lifetime ago), I noticed its caste structure. A few stars, some egos, duds too, many diggers, and others just underrated. From my POV, he was among that last group. No more. 👏
